Chicken Ceasar Salad Supreme
All foods fit, if they fill you up. Have you ever noticed that some foods/meals actually make you more hungry after you eat them?
This is because satisfaction from foods is actually pretty unrelated to total calories (another nail in the coffin) and many things can offer a significant number of calories but with insufficient protein and fibre to keep you full. This means a quick return to needing to eat which we want to avoid.
A classic Caesar salad is a perfect example with an average macronutrient breakdown of around 633kcal, 35g fat, 39g carbohydrates, 39g protein, and 4g fibre.
You'll notice this consists of equal parts protein, carbohydrates, and fat with only a tiny amount of fibre. This means low satiety for high energy density.
However, this recipe tackles that problem with 534kcal, 25g fat, 22g carbohydrates, 46.5g protein, 25g fibre.
